I think I know exactly which photo you're talking about. It is a classic, but it's Jane Hume, not Hollie Hughes. The failed candidate was Amelia Hamer in Kooyong
L to R A glum-faced Amelia Hamer, a cheerfully oblivious Jane Hume and teeth-gritted Peter Dutton doing a Brion Pegmatite impersonation. From The Age on Facebook. Can't find a photographer credit due to paywall.

Another intersting piece from Secco

Couldn’t hold back the thought that Sandilands wouldn’t hold back on torte law 😉

‘It was word for word’: The political power of John Laws www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politic... via @thesaturdaypaper.com.au
Whatever else might be said of the talkback hosts of yore, they did often engage with serious matters. Bob Carr recalls, for example, that Alan Jones at one point became heavily focused on tort law reform. It’s hard to imagine Kyle Sandilands doing anything similar.

From Stuart Coupe on Facebook
#AIFail
Screen capture of Stuart Coupe's Facebook post https://www.facebook.com/share/p/16GJJd8HWD/ It's a screen capture of Google AI saying that he (Stuart Couple) was Kiss's lighting director. Stuart clarifies: "And they say AI is the future . . . well, if you need to know about my history with KISS just call - as a radio station just did. I did write about their lighting director in my Roadies book . . ."

Good read, and worth it for this line alone:
The IMF always likes to be polite. It titled the October 2025 world economic outlook “Global Economy in Flux, Prospects Remain Dim” rather than as I would have: “Trump remains dim, so who the hell knows what will happen”.

JFC - "by the standards of a harsher time" slavery was better than slaughtering your enemy.
Blurb from Booktopia for Australia Tony Abbott How an ancient land became a great democracy Australia is one of the world's great success stories: a land long hidden from outsiders, chosen as a convict dumping ground, where - since 1788 - people from many backgrounds have built one of the freest, fairest and most prosperous countries on earth. By the standards of a harsher time, the early governors tried to respect the original inhabitants and to encourage the convict outcasts of the British Isles to make a new start to a better life. This Indigenous heritage, British foundation and immigrant character have shaped the land of the 'fair go' especially for those willing to 'have a go'.

In solidarity here's a photo I took last Tuesday of a family of them that live at the Cairns Private Hospital. Not quite as urbanised as the ones on Cordelia Street Westbank but impressive nonetheless
